can_v but_o know_v now_o if_o i_o believe_v that_o the_o universal_a church_n do_v shine_v with_o this_o custom_n of_o offer_v sacrifice_n for_o the_o dead_a as_o in_o prudence_n i_o must_v how_o can_v i_o in_o prudence_n think_v that_o the_o universal_a church_n even_o in_o that_o her_o golden_a age_n be_v stain_v with_o such_o a_o profane_a error_n as_o protestant_n hold_v this_o to_o be_v

thirteen_o hundred_o year_n together_o none_o of_o they_o all_o understand_v the_o scripture_n so_o well_o as_o he_o but_o by_o his_o leave_n i_o think_v i_o may_v be_v of_o the_o contrary_a opinion_n &_o i_o be_o very_o confident_a that_o s._n austin_n have_v as_o good_a a_o wit_n study_v as_o much_o be_v assist_v as_o much_o by_o the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o consequent_o understand_v the_o

church_n do_v observe_v that_o for_o those_o who_o be_v dead_a in_o the_o communion_n of_o the_o body_n &_o blood_n of_o christ_n prayer_n shall_v be_v make_v when_o in_o the_o sacrifice_n itself_o

1._o as_o it_o be_v a_o great_a argument_n against_o atheist_n who_o deny_v a_o god_n rewarder_n of_o good_a &_o punisher_n of_o evil_a that_o all_o the_o world_n but_o they_o acknowledge_v such_o a_o god_n so_o it_o can_v but_o be_v a_o strong_a argument_n against_o protestant_n who_o deny_v purgatory_n that_o all_o heathen_n jew_n turk_n and_o all_o civil_a nation_n do_v use_v prayer_n for_o the_o dead_a the_o reason_n why_o all_o agree_v so_o universal_o in_o this_o point_n must_v needs_o be_v ground_v in_o the_o light_n of_o natural_a reason_n which_o as_o it_o teach_v that_o there_o be_v some_o man_n very_o good_a who_o deserve_v nothing_o but_o reward_n other_o very_o bad_a who_o deserve_v nothing_o but_o punishment_n so_o it_o teach_v that_o there_o be_v a_o three_o kind_n of_o man_n who_o with_o the_o good_a they_o do_v worthy_a of_o reward_n do_v also_o some_o ill_n worthy_a of_o some_o though_o not_o eternal_a punishment_n &_o consequent_o it_o will_v belong_v to_o high_a power_n to_o give_v these_o man_n due_a chastisement_n which_o as_o we_o see_v they_o escape_v often_o in_o this_o life_n it_o must_v therefore_o be_v give_v they_o in_o the_o next_o s._n austin_n think_v this_o to_o be_v so_o manifest_a that_o he_o say_v in_o euchir_n c._n 109._o it_o be_v not_o to_o be_v deny_v but_o that_o the_o soul_n of_o those_o who_o be_v depart_v be_v much_o relieve_v by_o the_o pity_n of_o their_o live_a friend_n when_o either_o the_o sacrifice_n of_o our_o mediator_n be_v offer_v for_o they_o or_o alm_n be_v give_v in_o the_o church_n in_o their_o behalf_n because_o there_o be_v a_o certain_a state_n of_o life_n neither_o so_o good_a but_o that_o they_o may_v have_v need_n of_o these_o help_n after_o death_n nor_o yet_o so_o evil_a but_o that_o these_o office_n may_v profit_v they_o and_o on_o the_o contrary_a there_o be_v another_o state_n of_o man_n so_o good_a that_o they_o need_v not_o this_o help_n and_o of_o other_o so_o evil_a that_o they_o can_v be_v help_v by_o it_o when_o they_o be_v dead_a wherefore_o here_o in_o this_o life_n all_o merit_n be_v get_v whereby_o after_o this_o life_n a_o man_n may_v be_v relieve_v or_o not_o 2._o the_o answer_n which_o protestant_n use_v to_o make_v be_v very_o weak_a for_o they_o say_v that_o although_o some_o man_n live_v so_o that_o they_o do_v not_o deserve_v hell_n and_o yet_o live_v not_o so_o well_o but_o they_o deserve_v some_o punishment_n yet_o these_o man_n say_v they_o shall_v not_o go_v to_o purgatory_n but_o by_o the_o only_a undergo_n of_o the_o pain_n of_o death_n they_o shall_v be_v sufficient_o punish_v for_o their_o sin_n this_o answer_n for_o two_o reason_n be_v apparent_o false_a first_o for_o that_o the_o undergo_n of_o death_n be_v a_o punishment_n due_a unto_o all_o man_n for_o original_a sin_n for_o say_v s._n paul_n rom._n 5._o by_o one_o man_n sin_n enter_v into_o the_o world_n and_o by_o sin_n death_n and_o so_o unto_o all_o man_n death_n do_v pass_v even_o unto_o suck_a babe_n who_o for_o no_o other_o cause_n undergo_v this_o punishment_n second_o we_o see_v the_o pain_n of_o death_n equal_o share_v among_o the_o good_a and_o bad_a and_o in_o the_o flood_n of_o noë_n all_o man_n suffer_v the_o same_o death_n of_o be_v drown_v &_o yet_o the_o sin_n of_o many_o be_v most_o unequal_a 3._o this_o proof_n draw_v from_o natural_a reason_n be_v exceed_o illustrate_v and_o confirm_v by_o three_o principle_n certain_a in_o holy_a scripture_n the_o first_o be_v that_o there_o be_v some_o sin_n only_o venial_a and_o not_o liable_a to_o eternal_a torment_n and_o yet_o liable_a to_o some_o torment_n that_o servant_n say_v s._n luke_n cap._n 22._o who_o know_v the_o will_n of_o his_o lord_n and_o do_v not_o according_a to_o his_o will_n shall_v be_v beat_v with_o many_o stripe_n but_o he_o that_o know_v it_o not_o and_o do_v thing_n worthy_a of_o stripe_n shall_v be_v beat_v with_o few_o stripe_n hence_o it_o be_v evident_a that_o there_o be_v some_o man_n who_o do_v thing_n worthy_a of_o stripe_n which_o they_o shall_v not_o escape_v but_o yet_o they_o shall_v be_v beat_v with_o few_o stripe_n but_o if_o these_o stripe_n be_v to_o be_v lay_v on_o for_o all_o eternity_n as_o all_o stripe_n be_v which_o be_v pay_v in_o hell_n they_o will_v not_o be_v few_o because_o be_v everlasting_a the_o number_n of_o they_o will_v be_v without_o number_n will_v any_o one_o call_v these_o stripe_n few_o or_o can_v any_o man_n persuade_v himself_o that_o a_o god_n who_o be_v all_o mercy_n will_v in_o this_o unmerciful_a manner_n punish_v the_o speak_n of_o one_o idle_a word_n yet_o christ_n himself_o say_v that_o we_o shall_v be_v accountable_a for_o every_o idle_a word_n we_o speak_v matth._n 12._o
